2011: Exciting times for YouthBuild Quad Cities. After about a year of
renovations, the organization and its members recently finished work on
their first Iowan house (pictured left), celebrating the occasion with a public viewing
on November 4th. In fact, the owner of the house attended the event and
said a few words thanking YB Quad Cities for its work. The whole
operation was made possible through collaborations between Davenport’s
Weed and Seed program, the city of Davenport, Davenport Central High
School, and Kimberly Center High School.

The
Rock Island program has established itself in Iowa over the last few
years; deconstruction and construction of its second home in Illinois’
neighboring state began on October 18th.
